Question Computer randomly shutting down without warning.

After a month of smooth usage my computer now at random shuts down (no warning just loses all power instantaneously). I have already determined it isnt my UPS or my wall socket (as ive tested it with a different UPS and various wall outlets). I've also deduced that the problem isnt a result of any sort of stress on the computer as ive run Cinebemch r20 and Heaven benchmark for my CPU and GPU, also the it shuts down at random, could be while playing a game or just on the desktop and at random intervals.
Specs:
Powerspec 80+ gold 650 watt psu
ryzen 3700x
rt 2060 super
NZXT M22 watercooler
Trident z Neo 32gig 3600mhz

Thanks

Well solving this one is going to be frustrating for you, a bad boot is easy, swap a part, hit on, does it boot? Intermittent problems are a chore to track down and reproduce. My first guess, and I'm supposing here most peoples first guess is and was PSU. Is the fan on that thing faulty? I guess skip doing a teardown and try swapping just the power supply and see what happens. From there you can strip the system, make sure all your posts are in place and not causing shorts where the motherboard mounts, then you can reseat the CPU, RAM and so on and so on.

Yes, this kind of thing once happened with my laptop after I reapplied the thermal paste.

Glad you brought this up.
